Jobs don’t always end up being what you thought they would be. Maybe the role started out great but has fizzled since. Or you took the job because that’s what was available when you needed on desperately. Whatever is making you feel “meh” about your current situation, know that you can still love the job you’re with. To make the most out of any job, focus your energy on the opportunities your job can provide.

• Skill building: Consider ways you can turn your current job into a “curriculum” of growth that will help improve your career prospects in the future. For example, if you know your writing could use some improvement, pay attention to any well-written emails you receive from your colleagues and start practicing the styles that impress you most.
• Relationship building: Sign up for any formal mentoring or networking programs offered by your organization to build your professional connections and expand your network. Even if you change industries in the future, you never know how your current contacts might be connected to people in other fields.
• Personal growth: Sometimes we learn more about ourselves from imperfect situations than from seemingly ideal ones. Navigating through a not-great job can be a great way to increase your skills in agility, resilience, resourcefulness and more.
